Gobi manchurian recipe with step by step photos. Gobi Manchurian is one of the very few indo chinese dishes that I love to eat in restaurants! Gobi manchurian is one of the popular dishes in many restaurants and most wanted recipe too.So here is how we can make gobi manchurian with easy stepwise pictures.
I have given the saucy version here but check my notes section for making gobi manchurian dry version.
Gobi Manchurian Recipe – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 15 mins | Cooking Time : 25 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Starter | Recipe Cuisine: Chinese
Recipe Category: Starter | Recipe Cuisine: Chinese
Cauliflower – 1 Medium sized cut into florets
For the batter:
Cornflour – 3 tbsp
Maida – 2.5 tbsp
Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp
Salt – to taste
For the manchurian:
Oil – 2 tbsp
Garlic – 1.5 tbsp sliced thin
Spring onion white part – 1 tsp
Spring onion green part – 1 tbsp
Big Onion – 1 chopped finely
Green Chilli sauce – 3/4 tsp
Soya sauce – 1/8 tsp
Tomato sauce – 2.5 tbsp
Cornflour – 2 tsp mixed with 3 tbsp water (optional I didnt use)
Pepper powder – 1/2 tsp
Salt – to taste
Method:
- Mix all the above ingredients listed under ‘for the batter’ with little water to form a thick paste.Boil water and add cauliflower florets, salt and turmeric powder. Cook only till half boiled, drain water and keep aside.
- Marinate the boiled cauliflower florets in the batter, mix well and leave it marinated for 15 mins.[I usually toast them in dosa tawa or grill them in oven.Then deep fry them till golden brown or until crispy.
- Heat oil and add sliced garlic,spring onion white part saute for 2 mins then add onion and saute till slightly browned.
- Now add the green chilli sauce, soya sauce mix well in high flame for a minute.
- Simmer,add tomato sauce and little water say 1/4 cup water, add cornflour water mixture of you are adding then allow it boil and come to a sauce consistency.Now add toasted/grilled gobis. Mix well again for 3-4 minutes for the flavours to get blended well with the gobis. The gobi pieces should be a little crisp and not soggy at this stage.Finally add pepper powder and garnish with spring onion green part and switch off.
Garnish with spring onions while serving and Serve hot! Yummy saucy gobi manchurian is ready.
My Notes:
- To make a dry version just reduce the tomato sauce so that the gobis are just coated with the sauce.
- You can even deep fry the gobis for more crispy version. Also you can add 1/2 cubed capsicum after frying onions.
- Adding cornflour water mixture is purely optional – this is just to make the sauce thick.Serve immediately before it becomes soggy.
- Make sure not to saute the veggies for a long time in the sauce as the veggies need to be crisp.
- Dont add more soya sauce than the mentioned amount else it will change the taste and make the manchurian more darker in color.

Hi Sharmi
Can we use whole wheat flour instead of Maida & besan instead of corn flour ?
No no…wheat flour isnt a substitute here…May be try half and half of rice flour and maida
Thank you Sharmilee. Is there a substitute for corn flour?
Try rice flour….not really sure of the outcome but give a try and see
Hi.. is there any other substitute for soya sauce and tomato sauce .. ? pls reply
No I dont recommend any substitute for soya and tomato sauce as it will totally change the flavour.

I use Kisan / Maggi
